As a YEC sympathizer, here's one for your consideration: "Far from where
people dwell he cuts a shaft, in places forgotten by the foot of
man;...." (Job 28:4) Now, if the places in the heart of a mountain are
forgotten by the foot of man, then must we not conclude that man once
walked on the land that was later pushed up into the heart of the
mountain?
